Busy.

I'm simply crazy busy.

The blog is always on the back of my mind...

"must post about E.'s belly button fuzz"
or
"take pictures of my pretty birthday cards and flowers to share"
or
"must show everyone the snow that refuses to melt..."

and yet time just hasn't allowed.

Today I am running from one thing to the next - from having kids dropped off here at 7:50 to hang out with my kids until it's time to leave for school because their mom had an early meeting to jetting over to the school to work on the newsletter for a few minutes to driving Ethan up to the north side for an orthodontist appointment then back to the school for a PTG meeting... it's just nuts.

And of course, there are always class projects looming - and another design opportunity I've been given that I'm excited to tell you about that's requiring quite a bit of time right now - and actual teaching and working.

And it's not even spring.

Come spring, I will become immersed in the craziness of track season, preparations for another 6th grade memory book I'm somehow responsible for making for over 80 sixth graders again, and 10 scheduled classes in April...

So I'm again learning how to be prudent and productive with my time. Somehow I never seem to master that one. I'm just a naturally lazy person. I know that about myself. But it doesn't make it any easier to get off the couch...

Had to take a moment to share... now I'm off!

And yes, I really do have a story about belly button fuzz to tell you.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
